Now that is very interesting Platt,
Why should someone with four out of four role models from a very
specific line in the asethetic arts, be so hooked on good old
objective logical positivist style (dare I say SOMist) reason when it
comes to morals and values.
My angle is to say it's that very style of reasoning that needs
tempering with a liberal sprinking of aesthetic quality. Which I have
to say is exactly what I thought Pirsig was doing with his MoQ, bring
the quality of the experience to the centre.
Odd no ?
(Perhaps odder is that you cite Pirsig as changing your life when it
came to morals, yet he isn't even listed amongst your role models -
but that's maybe a different matter.)
